...attitude of the Faculty on the other hand, is quite justifiable. The requirement for the degree of A.B. is 16 courses and a suitable training in English, whether obtained by anticipating English A, by taking it as a whole course, or by taking it until relieved at the mid-year examinations. Thus it is easily seen that when a man has attained his high grade at the mid-years, he may be considered to have received suitable training in English, and an additional fee is charged for additional instruction. He is then in the same category...
...positions outlined above are perfectly tenable, and the question resolves itself into which is the fairer and more advantageous. We believe that the standard of English composition demanded of the undergraduates is much too low, and that any suitable means to raise it should be adopted. The case in hand furnishes an opportunity in this direction. If it is decided, however, to charge the additional $10.00 for continuance in the course after a student is relieved from prescription, it seems only fair that the additional receipts be turned back into the course, so providing better instruction in this, the most...

...enjoyable entertainments being given by members of the class. A trio of S. B. Stell, A. M. Osgood, and F. R. Hancock gave two remarkably good songs, followed by a story by H. Edmands. J. W. Bowen '12 played two banjo selections, followed by some very clever sleight-of-hand tricks by S. B. Blodgett. Following this came the serious question of the evening--the Senior dormitories. L. Withington, in outlining the plans, said that President Lowell and Dean Hurlbut were more than willing to entrust its solution to the class, provided sufficient enthusiasm and support were manifested. A committee...
...early part of the evening will be devoted to Schandegaff and entertainment. S. B. Blodgett '11 will perform slight-of-hand tricks; and stories and musical numbers will follow...
